fetch

edna, I'm going out for a walk.
taking the dog, with you?
no, he likes to run, and I can't keep up.
you don't have to keep up. just let him go.
yes, but then I have nobody to talk to.
you talk to the dog?
he's quite literate, you know.
is he?
for example, all I know about keynesian theory, I learned from him.
and here I thought he was only good at fetching sticks.
his college major. but he minored in economics.
we're lucky to have him, i guess.
I know. he turned down a professorship.
just for us? imagine!
yes, but he still likes to sniff other dogs' asses.
in between lectures, I hope.
let's hope.
